KCK Presidency: AKP implementing fascist policies in Kurdistan

In a press release on Tuesday the Executive Council of KCK Presidency has accused the Turkish state of having reached an "all-time high fascist-colonialist practices in Kurdistan". The Executive Council adds that the AKP regime has not only "disregarded its own laws but also universal jurisdiction by imposing aggravated isolation conditions and psychological torture against the Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan for the past 4 months". According to the KCK Presidency these implementations are not based on any moral and juridical ground but indeed contribute to the "deepening and spread of the war".

The KCK Presidency argues that as the isolation conditions and psychological torture implemented against the Kurdish leader have not led to any results, "the AKP leadership has decided to widen the tools of warfare employed against our leader. Indeed, the operations taken up under the name of KCK, targeting of the academies and all the other attacks are in essence the result of the warfare against the political line and system of our leader".

Analyzing the latest wave of arrests on Tuesday which targeted in particular the Asrin Law Office and the lawyers of the Kurdish People's leader, the KCK Presidency says that "the real reason behind the recent meeting between the Prime Minister and the related institutions and ministers is better understood. In the person of our leader, there is a clear warfare waged against the system, political line of our leader as well as the people of Kurdistan themselves. This warfare is not based on any juridical grounds. The only laws that apply are the laws of colonialist hegemony".

Commenting on the recent AKP stands on massacres and genocides of the past, the KCK Presidency notes that "the AKP is responsible for many massacres and genocides against the Kurdish people. It is interesting that at such a time when AKP itself has revised the genocidal policies in Dersim it would talk about the massacres taken up in Dersim. AKP has dirty political dealings and interests in doing this".

Commenting on the work for a new Constitution the KCK Presidency notes that "the AKP is preparing to make the same old colonial constitution but dressed in new gear. These attacks target the silencing of the Kurdish people, reduce their influence and thus enable the new constitution to pass in comfort. AKP demands that the Kurdish people accept enslavement. They therefore wish to cut the bond between our leader and the people, to silence our leader to attain their desired results".

The statement by the KCK Presidency ends with a call on the people of Kurdistan to "step up the Serhildan (uprising) movement. The only way to stop these wretched attacks is to show a social reaction against these practices".
